What better way to celebrate the 10-Year partnership between Vans and The Bunt than hosting The Bunt Jam in Toronto. Toronto, Canada is where it all started for Cephas Benson and Donovan Jones, the host of the popular skateboarding podcast. What started as 2 friends having conversations with local and pro skaters has led to this global event, with Vans being there to support since day one.
This year, VCU Shop Andrew, came back to Toronto to defend their title in the 3-On-3 basketball tournament. Like the last Bunt Jam, Andrew went through the bracket with ease, defeating team Violet and winning the basketball tournament again. Will team Andrew and Head Coach Nick Katz ever get taken down?!

Team Bunt vs Team Violet
The following day was The Bunt Jam, with the skate obstacles being football themed. Really covering all the sports over here in T-Dot.
